A ritual scene in a temple hall with a silver-framed throne. A long-haired man in a rust-brown robe with rudraksha malas sits on a low seat, his face marked with tilak, while a bald man in white kurta and an orange-robed attendant bend to offer him a plate. A woman in a white and yellow dress kneels and offers a plate of food; a woman in a red sari with a head net holds a vessel nearby, and a woman in a dark blue and yellow printed kurta stands at right. Green leaves, flower offerings and stacked leaf plates lie on the floor, with a silver deity murti and vessels in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha adornment, a person cue, shown here in a ritual offering context.2018-01-08A ritual offering scene at an ashram hall.
